The Vista from Olana

Hello friends, art lovers and blog readers!  This is Ellen Perantoni, AskArt listed painter of the landscape in oil, with a new painting of an all time favorite view:  the view of the Hudson River from Frederick Church's Olana in he fall.   The flowing lines of the river and the tapestry of brilliant fall colors is incomparable;  master painter Church chose this site for his home Olana because he believed it is the best view in the world.  I have painted this view dozens of times, at all seasons , daytime and night. More of my Olana paintings, as well as other views, can be seen online also at www.artwanted.com/Ellen Perantoin, and my e-mail address is eperantoni@yahoo.com

   This painting, as framed, is currently in my studio. it is on 11x14"  stretched canvas framed in a wide tarnished gold frame, which brings it to about 17x21" on the wall.   It is priced at $895. as framed, and I accept PayPal and payment instruments drawn on USA based banks.  Shipping within the USA is included. 

   If an internet purchaser is less than delighted with the painting,  it is returnable for refund, less shipping cost, within 30 days.  Due to the detailed glazing and layering techinques i use, msot people feel my actual paintings look better than the dit matrix photos on the net.

     If anyone would like to see this painting, and my other available works, before purchase I am happy to show them at my studio, now in Sedona , Arizona.  The unique red rock country here is well worth a visit.

Warning to Art Collectors -- Look for A Clear Ellen Perantoni Signature and Title:

Hello friends, blog readers and art collectors.  I've been posting my oil paintings and related art info on this blog since 2007 and have met many good people and sold many paintings.
But it's come to my attention that - regrettably -- there are paintings out there being sold online
 as  signed Ellen Perantoni paintings which are not.
      Apparently I am sufficiently famous for my work to be ripped off!   Because that's what is happening.   Some fine and reputable dealers sell my art, with my blessing --  but it pains me to find that not all are fine and reputable.
      One indication you are not getting what you're paying for is the lack of a legible signature on both front and back, and a title on the back.  So far I have not seen my signatures being faked (though they could be, I suppose).   The quality of the art is also much poorer.
     If you have purchased art represented as having been done by Ellen Perantoni  (or if you're thinking about it)  make sure the piece is clearly signed and titled.    I also include a Certificate of Authenticity, signed by me in print and script, if it is an online purchase.
       I'll also include a Certificate of Authenticity with a purchase through an art gallery I have authorized to represent me, on request, or with a direct purchase.   If you want to contact me to ask about a piece please e-mail me at  eperantoni@yahoo.com
     The unsigned pieces are being offered on ebay, and at least one private website that I know of.
      I sell some of my own art on ebay under ID mstcwrld7.  And through art galleries I have authorized to represent me. 
      If you view one of my own painting listings under ebay ID mstcwrld7,  you can read my full warning.
And remember, you can always ask me about any painting you have ever bought as an Ellen Perantoni.  Anywhere. 
   That is a promise.
       Don't be fooled!
           Ellen

Path Into Evening

Hello all!  This is Ellen Perantoni again, painter of the landscape in oil in a quasi-traditional manner inspired by the masters of the nineteenth century Hudson River School.   I paint the Hudson Valley region, the West and the southwest, and am eternally transfixed by the marvels of each. This sunset panorama is on 18x36" wrapped deep canvas with the painting continued onto the sides of the canvas.   This adds to the almost 3-diomensional impact of the way I paint, so the scenes spring to life before you.  You can see more of my art on www.artwanted.com/EllenPerantoni and my e-mail address is eperantoni@yahoo.com

 This work is currently in my studio getting its final varnish.  I am really enjoying it but it is for sale.  The price is $2750. including shipping within the USA.   It woudl also look good in the right frame if you prefer.

Please let me know if you would like to see close-ups of this work.  There is a great deal of fine detail; each blade of grass and branch of brush in the foreground is painted separately.

If you woudl like to view this work , or any of my art, in actuality it is in Back O' Beyond Gallery/Studio here in Sedona Arizona.  A great place to visit in its pwn right, with pleaseant weather almost all year round and the famous red rocks.  The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday from 12-5 or by appointment. Contact me for more info.

I accept checks and money orders drawn on USA based banks, and will release the art after the payment clears.  I also accept PayPal.   Please contact me at eperantoni@yahoo.com to receive a PayPal invoice.

Have a great week!  I would love to hear from you. 

Seasons Change

Hello all!  This is Ellen Perantoni again,  painter of the landscape in a manner inspired by the Hudson River School masters from Albert Bierstadt to Frederick Church.  The above oil is a magnum opus of mine, at 24x48" and it kept me happily busy for weeks.  In addition to landscape and skies in their serene moments,  I am fascinated by weather.   And I love to capture moments of transition, which can be tantalizingly brief in spite of their grand scale.  You can see more of my art on   www.artwanted.com/EllenPerantoni  and e-mail me at epreantoni@yahoo.com

This work "Seasons Change" is executed on a 24x48" stretched canvas 1-1/2" deep with the painting continued on the sides of the canvas.   This gives it an especially 3-dimensional look.  It can be framed, or not.

It is currently drying in my studio and is almost ready for varnishing and for a new home.  It is priced $8000. and will dramatically transform a room,  a focus for all eyes.   Viewing this work, you cna actually feel the cold breeze from the distant snowy peaks rushing down into the foreground,
where fall still holds sway.

But you know the days and hours of the golden foliage which is recently reflected in the water are numbered and are very short.

Please know if you are interested and would like to receive close-up photo images.  They will show the detail which I labored over minutely for weeks.   Digital dot matrix photos do not fully capture the depth of my work which is executed in a series of many glazes, but those images will suggest it.

I accept PayPal and personal money orders and checks drawn on USA based financial institutions.  Painting will be very carefully boxed and shipped when the payment instrument clears.

 I am so happy to have completed this work to my painstaking requirements.   And I will be happy to answer inquiries.  You can read more of these blog posts  , most of which are about a single art image, by clicking on "Older Posts" at this bottom of this web page.  These posts go back to 2007 and many of the paintings are sold, but there are interesting stories. 

Have a great week!   

Grizzly Cubs in Autumn

Hello friends, art lovers and blog readers!   This ia Ellen Perantoni again, painter of the landscape in oil, posting a recent painting of an expansive scene in the Grand Tetons.  In the foreground it is fall with cottonwood leaves turned gold and the high grasses by the Snake River turning tawny.  Two grizzly cubs explore the flats, looking small against the  huge scale of the scene.   My main artistic influence is the Hudson River School, in this scene the air is so crisp and sharp that the distant peaks seem close.  But they are actually a world away in weather;  at their great height they are in the midst of winter.

My paintngs on this blog cover the United States east and west and back..  I hope you will enjoy the blog (and keep in mind the paintings all look a lot better than these digital photos).  My e-mail address is  eperantoni@yahoo.com  and you can see more of my work at a glance on
www.artwanted.com/EllenPerantoni

This painting is 36x36", executed on deep canvas 1-1/2" deep with the painting extended onto the sides. for a finished appearance.   I can frame it, or not, as the buyer chooses. This painting is $5200.   You can purchase it with PayPal or funds drawn on a USA based bank.  I will consider a payment plan or fair offer from a serious collector.

If you purchase this work form an internet digital photo and are not delighted you can return it for a refund within 30 days.  Most people think my paintings look much better in actuality, as they have a depth that digital photos cannot convey.  

Right now this painting is in my gallery in Sedona AZ, Back O' Beyond Gallery/Studio.  I  show this and other works from 12-5 Tuesday through Saturday, or by appointment.  The gallery address is 141 Back O' Beyond Circle, Sedona AZ 86336.

You  can also read more about me and Back O' Beyond Gallery/Studio on facebook, where I have a gallery page entitled with the name of the gallery.   Please call 928-554-4778 with any questions.

Have a great week!  I would love to hear from you.
 Best, Ellen

Fall Color in the Grand Canyon, with PayPal Link : ( and re Open Studio April 29-May 1)

Hello all!  This is Ellen Perantoni again, posting another large 36" x36" oil landscape painting of a slope within the Grand Canyon which supports vegetation that turns a beautiful scarlet in the fall.  Behind this colorful slope in the foreground you can see receding slopes and peaks that are very far away but still within the Canyon's mile-deep opening in the earth.   I just finished this painting and it is drying in my studio.  I'll exhibit it here in my studio at the Sedona April 29-May 1 Open Studio weekend, unless someone like you purchases it first.

I have sold a great deal of my art here on the Internet, and have many references from satisfied collectors across a wide area.   I'm experienced with packing and shipping.   If a buyer is less than delighted with a painting it can be returned for refund within 14 days for any reason.

This work is executed on 1-1/2" thick wrapped canvas, with the painting continued onto the sides.  So it does not need to be framed (though it can be framed if you want, by me or your local framer.)
It is $5200. including shipping to anywhere in the USA.

If you are interested please ask any questions you may have, including requests for close-up photos.  I accept PayPal  and payment instruments , checks and money orders, drawn on USA based banks.  With PayPal you get PP's full Buyer Protection.  
If you wish to purchase this work with PayPal, click on this link to go to PayPal checkout:

If you would like to see the painting before purchase,  I would be happy to show it by appointment even if you cannot come to the studio on Open Studios weekend. 

My Gallery/Studio is called Back O' Beyond Studio and I am usually working here in the afternoons,  but it is advisable to call first at 928-554-4778.   For those who have not been to Sedona AZ -- it is a fabulous scenic place to visit with its unique red rocks,  and has often been compared to the Grand Canyon itself, but with residences among the rock formations.  I have many paintings of Sedona on this blog site.

My e-mail address is eperantoni@yahoo.com  and I would love to hear from you.  If you wish to purchase a painting by sending a check or money order as above,  please let me know and I will send you the payment address.
